Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1986
Eighteen idiopathic toe walkers were evaluated by gait electromyography to define muscle timing abnormalities. This group was compared with a matched group of normal children walking on their toes and to a group of patients with cerebral palsy and equinus deformities.
